June 19, 2014 - Tour - Parque (Park) in Gualaceo

---

We went to the park in Gualaceo for lunch and to just relax for a little while. We arrived at the restaurant about 15 minutes before they opened for lunch, so we had some time to look around.

What a simple little town. They were preparing for the Corpus Christi celebration. They would be voting on the Reina (queen) of the festival that afternoon. The one selected would be celebrated and later, in the evening, would have a candle lit ride down the river with everyone celebrating her coronation.

We had a very nice lunch of chicken, rice, muenestra (beans), orange juice and a small cup of a fruity dessert.

We went back out to the park just in time to catch the end of the high school band going through. There was a very long service going on in the church (it was supposed to be over at 1 pm and then the town band would be playing. But it was still going on at 1:15 and we had to go to another place, so we didn't get a chance to hear them.
